Abstract The crystallographic characterization and defect structure of precipitates plays a key role in the properties of Zr alloys. The precipitates in Zircaloy-4 alloy are studied in this work. The Zr-Fe-Cr particles are identified as the dominant precipitates at room temperature with C14 or C15 type Laves structure. The Fe/Cr ratio of C15 type Zr-Fe-Cr phase is slightly lower than that of C14 type phase. The {0 0 0 1} stacking faults in C14 phase is observed and analyzed for the first time. Some new orientation relationships of C14 and C15 phases with α-Zr are identified.
